This will be the 2nd SCP I've posted. This time I decided to explore an idea so horrifying, a reckoning so absolute, that it could drive the Foundation to actually work cooperatively with GoIs in genuine good faith.

Nearly all paranormal organizations signed these accords? Alrighty then. I’m gonna be having high expectations for what comes next.

Nice first footnote. It’s funny.

Similarly, changes to policy are also to be made with as great a frequency as can justified.

No efforts to alter policies are to be implemented for reasons relating to SCP-XXXX until suitable alternate justifications can be found.

These seem to contradict each other? I think what you’re trying to say in the second passage is that no legislation about SCP-XXXX should be made? That should probably be more clear, since all of these policy changes would be happening to contain SCP-XXXX.

A permanent presence from the Foundation and/or at least one other Haven Accord signatory is to be maintained within audit and compliance enforcement divisions of all known bodies responsible for the administration of taxation in any capacity

But of what size? Make that a bit more clear, because it sounds like we’re putting operatives and agents in each and every Smalltown’s IRS office across the world, and I feel like you’re going for a larger scale.

Procedures for handling of wholely compliant financial arrangements have not yet been developed in detail…

I’ve honestly read this like 5 times and I still have no idea what it means.

Your containment procedures are really long and complicated. They’re quite hard to get through and they’re harder to actually understand. I’d definitely recommend cutting out some of the specifics (because there are a lot) and simplifying some of the executive jargon.

causes alterations to taxation documents such that they are entirely complete and correct.

Hah! That’s certainly not what I was expecting! Nice.

In addition to the alterations to documents, SCP-XXXX will retroactively alter reality such that any tax liability raised in affected documents was paid on time.

I feel that this whole paragraph is a bit too technical, and the talk about returning to “behavioral normalcy” and such takes away from the main point: you lose the money you were supposed to spend on taxes.

Oh I really like the part about unorthodox ways people pay for their taxes. It adds some horror in an unexpected, but not unreasonable, twist.

When questioned after the affected period, those who have taken such actions have expressed surprise at their actions, with many exhibiting signs of severe distress or regret.

Eh, I feel like this kinda spoils the section. You could probably reword it so it’s less “people feel bad about this because it’s so bad.” People feeling bad is expected, you don’t need to point it out.

Cases of unnecessary brutality in self-inflicted harm are hypothesized to be somewhat punitive, as many affected who would have had little difficulty obtaining sufficient funds through simple channels instead opted for methods which were uncharacteristic, inefficient and extreme.

I don’t really get what’s happening here: people are hurting themselves because they could’ve paid their taxes normally? Reading on, it seems that this is sort of a ‘Karma’ situation, but this sentence words it weirdly.

The incident log for the failed Site seems inconsistent with the actual SCP. Apparently, because the Foundation avoided taxes, a bunch of things went wrong in the Site? Wouldn’t the Foundation just lose the money they should’ve paid for the site? It’s not like they wouldn’t have the money for it.

The second log is way too redacted. It’s really hard to have an idea of what’s actually going on here.

I feel like the joint statement could be worked on more. This is a big deal. All of these organizations working together? That is a serious thing. And it makes sense in this situation, but the statement doesn’t seem to justify it well enough. The beginning’s good, but I feel that the second half doesn’t really cover as many reasons for alliance as it should.

So after everything’s been read, I only have one last thing to say: you absolute madman. Seriously, this idea is both hilarious and understandable. The only thing that would bring these organizations together is tax avoidance!? Wow. Just wow. The containment procedures do a good job presenting this as some higher evil, and then we just find out that this is all to avoid taxes. It’s brilliant. I love this. Great job.

(And if you need anything else feel free to PM me. I wouldn’t mind elaborating or helping more at all.)
